The seedy massage parlors, gang-ridden housing projects, and expensive mafia-run clubs of Toronto provide the backdrop for this riveting crime story featuring Detective Gord Bergeron. Plagued by unanswered questions in his personal life and at work, Gord immerses himself in the investigation of a death that may be terrorist-related. Did the Arab-looking man who fell 25 floors to his death jump, or was he pushed? Sharon MacDonald may know the answer, but she is knee-deep in her own problems?namely, her house arrest, the impending arrival of her drug lord ex-boyfriend, and the attention of the preternaturally good-looking Ray. It?s only a matter of time until Sharon and Gord?s paths cross in this fast-paced mystery.

Single-mother and pot grower Sharon MacDonald is under house arrest for an act of violence, but that doesn't stop her from considering a double-cross on her vicious drug boss Richard Tremblay. Everyone who enters the page is full of vigor and surprises, and just when you think you know what makes a character tick and what side he or she is on, McFetridge pulls the rug out from under your feet.
